  • A notable feature is the switch from a triplet 12/8 feel into a straight 4/4 duple feel, which gives performers experience in adjusting their internal subdivision without losing control of touch. With simple sticking patterns and moderate tempi, this piece is designed to encourage a fluid, connected motion that avoids tension. Directors can use this as an entry point for young lines, emphasizing smooth transitions between accented and unaccented notes, while helping players build comfort moving between compound and simple time feels.
